About

This blog is a mostly stress journal. It isn't private, because I have nothing to hide and getting outside help and support requires telling the whole story, including some very uncomfortable truths.

Finally in 2008, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia / chronic fatigue syndrome, after suffering constant pain since at least 1995 (and with 20/20 hindsight, it's clear I've had related symptoms and signs since my teens and even before). This is considerably worsened by circumstances where I've not been believed and, consequently, lies have been spread about me. As a result of these lies, I've suffered unwarranted verbal attacks, victimization and bullying.

My friends and supporters are, of course, welcome here. Those who have judged me solely on the basis of other people's self-serving opinions and mere hearsay, I can only hope have intelligence and minds open enough to listen to and consider facts supported by irrefutable evidence.
